Tratamento cirúrgico de fratura de terço médio de face com uso da intubação submentual: relato de caso

Abstract

Submental intubation is a derivation of the conventional orotracheal intubation technique. This type of intubation is mainly used to avoid a tracheostomy in cases where conventional nasotracheal and orotracheal intubation are contraindicated. This study aims to report a clinical case in which submental intubation was used in an osteosynthesis surgery for multiple fractures of the middle third of the face.
